CocoaMQTT is an MQTT v3.1.1 and v5.0 client library for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS written in Swift 5. It supports TCP and WebSocket transports via CocoaAsyncSocket and Starscream, and integrates through Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods.

Use cases

connect an iOS app to an MQTT broker
subscribe and publish MQTT 5.0 messages from Swift
add real-time IoT messaging to a macOS app
use MQTT over WebSockets on Apple platforms
build a tvOS app that talks to an MQTT broker
connect Swift apps to broker.emqx.io

When to choose

you need an MQTT client in Swift for iOS, macOS, tvOS, or visionOS
you want MQTT 5.0 features like properties and enhanced auth
you prefer SPM or CocoaPods integration in Xcode projects

When to avoid

you need an MQTT client for Android or non-Apple platforms
you want a broker, not a client library
your project is not written in Swift or Objective-C-compatible code
